Univ. of Akron asks:

Interested in
Four Years of College
With No Student Debt ?

No need to reread that headline.   It's correct.

The University of Akron is instituting its Zips Affordability Scholarship.

To quote the University: "This brand-new scholarship was created because we know the cost of college can be a barrier for students, and grants and scholarships don't always cover tuition and fees."

In general:

• The scholarship covers the remainder of tuition and fees at the University after all federal and state grants have been applied;
• Student must be eligible for a Pell Grant;
• Student must live in Summit County or one of the five contiguous counties;
• Student must be a new, first-time freshman upon entering their first semester of college;
• This aid can be available for up to eight consecutive semesters.

Here are complete details on the terms of the scholarship and how to apply.
